#1 Hey Steve timely post. China has a watchful eye on India. This is their backyard and they will let it be known. Australia has moved into Asia markets and has weathered the economic downturn very well. This has caught the attention of China. India and Australia are two very important allies that we must cultivate. Russia has made their move on the other side so China sees hegemony infringement. China wants control period. This is their great weakness. They will use others and the others will readily use them.

#2 Also "Japan, South Korea and other neighbors of China also have been alarmed by Chinas military buildup", This is taking a massive amount of money. The people of China may not be willing to endure hardship to support this diversion of resources. The expectations of their people will demand more of everything. This new growth is a monster that must be feed year after year. You may wish to own tigers but when they get hungry they may want you more.

#5 India, another former British colony that obtained it's independence through out of door political activity. It has retained enough of its common law heritage and shed enough of its fabian socialism that is is ready to assume it's position in the Anglosphere.

India is an interesting alternative to American history. Both countries at independence had deep, deep internal divisions. We chose to remain as one nation for a lifetime until one part chose to split from the other. We fought a, relatively, short, violent war and remained a nation. India split and has suffered a long, subdued war. It may yet become one nation.

#6 We fought a, relatively, short, violent war and remained a nation. Nimble Sempble.

A cultural war continues yet today. Take a look at politically alligned "Red States" and "Blue States." Examine the north to south border of division.
